In the News

In this area I will post recent news stories featuring New Bedford. I'm hoping that reading any & all stories will give me a clear picture of what's going on in the city. The good, the bad, & the ugly. It's all important in understanding why people do, or do not, think of New Bedford immediately as a tourist destination. That being said, this section will be updated regularly as I collect news stories, so, stay tuned!
